This makes her want to escape because it makes her jealous of them and she wishes her life could be as free as theirs.

      The Victorian form of inquiry coexisted with a desire toward repairing the weakening foundations of faith.  "I write so/of the only truth-tellers now left to God,/The only speakers of essential truth/Opposed to relative, comparative/and temporal truths/...while your common men/lay telegraphs, gauge railroads, reign, reap, dine/ and dust the flaunty carpets of the world/...The poet suddenly will catch them up/With his voice like thunder, - 'This is soul/This is life...(Longman p.1872 lines 858-862,869-875).  Elizabeth recognizes the transition of her society and wonders aloud if they have all missed the point entirely.  She is arguing, in a sense, for sense and for the need to remain accountable to something outside ourselves.

The first paragraph of Bleak House alone gives the reader an instant idea of how Charles Dickens saw London to be around 1842. He has portrayed the streets to be muddy and extremely polluted, "As much mud in the streets as if the waters had but newly retired from the face of the earth." Here Dickens has used a slight amount of Hyperbole to emphasize his point. He also uses personification when referring to the snow flakes, saying that they have gone into mourning, ?smoke lowering down from the chimneypots, making a soft black drizzle, with flakes of soot in it as big as full-grown snowflakes?gone into mourning, one might imagine, for the death of the sun.? the contrast of the imagery he is using helps for the reader to imagine the scene,

In Jamaica Kincaid's "Girl", she presents a vivid picture of how gender is socially constructed within a specific culture, and the rigid rules imposed upon young women as well as the consequences of not conforming to those expectations. In this reading it compares to the gender construction in my own culture because everything thing that the girl does she is doing to be a women and be respectful which is something that you see in a lot of women in my society. Another reason why the society in “Girl” is similar to my society is because it talks about how to love a guy. It says “if that doesn’t work there are other ways” and it continues on to say “and if they don’t work don’t feel too bad about giving up.” This is like my society because there is not a set rules on how to love and every single relationship is very

People sometimes have tough ordeals. Some may act negatively toward the problem, but the people that act positively toward the problem are able to see hope in places where they wouldn’t expect it to be in. People have been through cruelty, yet they continue to stay positive. People still have the positivity to cling onto their last hope, or even continue to think positively when there is no hope at all. People like Anne Frank, in Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl, continue to stay positive throughout the horrible ordeals that have happened. Some of the Japanese in Dear Miss Breed: True Stories of the Japanese American Incarceration During World War II and a Librarian Who Made a Difference have continued to stay hopeful while in internment

6th Grade: Mrs. McEversons. Moving up to sixth grade was really scary. Actually, not that scary, but it's a whole new school, new friends, and new, well, pretty much EVERYTHING, except for a few of my old friends.

Katherine Mansfield writes about an aged woman, Miss Brill, who isolates her existence from the real world. Miss Brill attempts to build a fantasy life to protect her emotions from the harsh facts of her existence. The short story “Miss Brill” offers thorough description and examples of imagery to help readers better comprehend and view occurrences. Robert Peltier mentions how “Miss Brill” maintains a rising and falling action in each paragraph to demonstrate a scene-by-scene picture to the reader. In his overview of “Miss Brill”, each paragraph fits her on a specific day and moment. Mandel Miriam explains how “Miss Brill” contains more figurative language rather than actions. In particular, “Miss Brill” depends generally on images of sense and sound, but the senses of taste and

Children, with bright faces, tripped merrily beside their parents, or mimicked a graver gait, in the conscious dignity of their Sunday clothes” (Hawthorne, 1) places the readers in a small village in the United States in the middle of the 1800’s with an action that lasts for several days.

Have you ever heard of the Holocaust? The Holocaust was a terrible time in history when Adolf Hitler was torturing many innocent Jews. He put them in concentration camps, but many tried to hid just like Anne Frank and her family. Anne Frank who was Jew, has a famous quote that says “In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart.” Even though throughout the “Diary of Anne Frank” we see that people are not always the best they could be, I agree with Anne and believe that everyone is still good at heart. One overall reason I chose that people are really good at heart are the acts of kindness Peter has throughout the book to Anne. However, I do know that there are two sides of an argument, I can see how some might

The relationship between the environment and characters in literature played a large role in Victorian novels. This relationship is extremely evident in Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre, where Jane’s journey to freedom is reflected by her environment. However, Jane’s goal of freedom and equality symbolizes Victorian women struggling to gain these same values. According to Jennifer D. Fuller in “Seeking Wild Eyre: Victorian Attitudes Towards Landscape and the Environment in Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre”, Jane’s passion for freedom is reflects the passion for freedom in Victorian women who have not achieved equality yet. Although Jane’s environmental surroundings symbolize Jane’s future, Fuller effectively asserts that the weather instead symbolizes the harsh constraints of women’s gender roles in Victorian society.

The narrator is unknown to the readers but describes Catherine’s, and other characters inner thoughts, that would otherwise be reserved to them. Although it is Catherine that is made the main focus, “Catherine’s feelings, as she got into the carriage, were in a very unsettled state; divided between regret for the loss of one great pleasure, and the hope of soon enjoying another”, her narrative representation is sympathetic and pleasant but the third-person structure also allows for Catherine’s nature to be presented without confusing the
